Abstract
Reporting electrical current to a processor. At least some of the illustrative embodiments are methods including providing operational power to a processor at a voltage indicated by the processor of a computer system, measuring electrical current actually drawn by the processor, and reporting to the processor a value of electrical current drawn by the processor. The value of electrical current reported different than the electrical current actually drawn by more than a measurement error of measuring the electrical current actually drawn.
